Other issues include the idea that E-Ink tires the reader's eye - something that has not been mentioned elsewhere to my knowledge. Yes the display on the 500 is less than perfect - but it had already been replaced by a better device with a better screen by the time the Jetbook was released. It's very misleading and puts any other statements on the website into question.
The Jetbook itself is a perfectly decent device - I just don't trust that matrix.

Why not then rather say that the chart is in desperate need of updating? IMO it needs to now show the jetBook alongside Sony's 5" offering, as well as the Astak Pocket Pro and the Opus. Here's a question: does anyone actually know when that chart was first published? Perhaps it was first made as marketing material
before the jetBook's release and
while the Sony PRS-500 and Kindle 1 were the latest e-reader devices. Just a thought.
I have seen read people complaining about the e-ink flash and saying it bothers their eyes. But it
is a stretch to say that it bothers everyone. Just typical marketing slant.
